PrestaShop powers more than 300,000 stores worldwide, including a large share of French and European e-commerce. When a store reaches its international tipping point, the first friction that surfaces isn't logistics or tax compliance — it's producing and maintaining thousands of translated strings across the catalogue, CMS pages, SEO metadata and transactional emails.
Doing this work by hand, product by product, language by language, becomes unmanageable past a hundred SKUs. Outsourcing it to an agency takes weeks and costs a fortune. And generic auto-translation modules deliver a quality that simply doesn't hold up against local competitors.
The Reversia module was designed to solve this friction end-to-end. It installs in minutes in any PrestaShop 1.7, 8 or 9.x back office, detects every content creation or update via native PrestaShop hooks, and translates your entire store with Claude, Anthropic's AI model.
Why a dedicated module instead of an external service?
Most translation solutions on the market run as pure SaaS, sitting as an external layer on top of your PrestaShop. You export your catalogue to CSV, wait for the result, re-import. Or you let a proxy intercept your URLs to serve translated pages on the fly.
Both approaches have the same limits. You don't pilot your translations from your back office. Your edits don't propagate automatically. Your international SEO stays trapped on a third-party domain. And any PrestaShop upgrade can break the integration.
Reversia, by contrast, is an applicative solution 100% dedicated to PrestaShop. The module lives inside your back office, your translations belong to your database, your URLs remain your own. And the code is maintained at the pace of the PrestaShop ecosystem, with no exotic dependencies.
What the module actually translates
Where other modules stop at product sheets, Reversia translates every editorial surface of your store.
Catalogue
- Products (name, short description, long description, features)
- Categories and subcategories
- Attributes and their values
- Features and their values
- Manufacturers and suppliers
Editorial pages
- CMS pages (About, FAQ, Contact, legal, T&Cs)
- CMS categories and navigation menus
- Blog posts (when using ps_blog or an equivalent module)
- Cookie banner and service messages
SEO and emails
- Meta titles and descriptions for every product, category and page
- Translated URLs and slugs per language with automatic hreflang
- Image alt text across the catalogue
- Transactional emails (order, shipping, password reset, etc.)
The coverage is exhaustive. You will never end up with a translated cart and a confirmation email that's still in your source language.
The best translation quality on the market
Reversia is an Anthropic partner with dedicated enterprise access to Claude. Concretely, your content runs through a model that understands the context of a product sheet, that tells a fashion term apart from a technical one, and that can rewrite while keeping your brand voice.
On our internal benchmark of 1,200 product-sheet pairs reviewed double-blind by native speakers, Reversia scores 100 perceptually against 82 for GPT-4o, 79 for DeepL Pro and 64 for Google Translate. The gap is immediately visible on high-stakes content (premium descriptions, polished product copy, distinctive brand voice).
And because the confidentiality of your catalogue matters as much as quality, the contract with Anthropic is zero data retention. Your content is not stored and trains no third-party model.
A few-minute install
The module deploys like any standard PrestaShop module. Download reversia.zip, drop it into Modules → Upload a module, enable it, whitelist our IP in your back office, and launch your first translation pair.
Change detection runs through native PrestaShop hooks (actionProductUpdate, actionCategoryUpdate, actionObjectCmsUpdateAfter, etc.). The moment a product is created or modified, Reversia triggers the active language pairs in parallel. The first languages come back in under two minutes on a standard product sheet.
Multilingual and multistore compatible
PrestaShop is one of the rare e-commerce platforms with native multistore support and granular per-store language management. Reversia leans fully into that architecture.
In practice, you can activate the module on a single store, on a group of stores, or across your whole back office. Each store pilots its own translation pairs while sharing the same global setup (glossary, brand voice, exclusion rules).
A typical European retailer might run a French headquarters store, a Belgian store serving bilingual FR/NL, and a DACH store in German for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Each store handles its languages independently, while shared content (mutualised T&Cs, transactional emails) gets translated only once.
For monolingual or single-store setups, the module works exactly the same way, with no extra configuration. Enable your languages in International → Localization, and Reversia takes over.
Security, GDPR and hosting
All Reversia infrastructure is hosted on European servers under GDPR. None of your content is stored after processing. Back office ↔ Reversia communications run over HTTPS with a per-store rotated API key.
The module code is regularly audited, with no exotic dependencies. Compatible with PHP 7.4 to 8.3.
How much it costs
The module is free. Usage is billed through your Reversia plan, indexed on the volume of translated words and the number of active language pairs. Plans start at €39 per month for a small catalogue in two languages and shift to a degressive model beyond 100,000 translated words.
For very large catalogues or complex multistore setups, we offer custom terms. Book a 20-minute demo to walk through your concrete case with a team member.
Frequently asked questions
Does the module work with PrestaShop 8?
Yes. The module covers PrestaShop 1.7.8, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 9.x. Compatible with PHP 7.4 to 8.3.
Are my existing translations overwritten?
No. Reversia detects pairs that are already filled in and leaves them untouched by default. You can explicitly request a re-translation from the back office if needed.
Can I review or edit a translation before publishing?
Yes. The Reversia back office shows every translation with its source counterpart. You can approve, edit, or request a second pass from a partner linguist.
How many languages can I activate?
All the active languages in your PrestaShop. Reversia covers more than 110 languages, including low-volume ones (Catalan, Basque, Welsh, etc.).
Is the module compatible with my custom theme?
Yes. Reversia doesn't touch the front layer. It translates content at the source, inside the PrestaShop database, so your theme renders it without changes.
Is SEO preserved after translation?
Yes. Reversia translates meta titles, meta descriptions, URL slugs and alt texts, and generates the appropriate hreflang tags between your stores.
